    I took this cutting from a friends plant, she didn't know what it was and neither do I! The label that came with the plant when she got it just said "tropical foliage" - not very helpful ;) The leaves are slightly fuzzy and the stem is very fuzzy. The veins on the leaf that look light green are actually more white, the lighting in the photo I took was a bit funny.

    Thanks for your help!!

    Hey Meg :)
    Looks very much like a fittonia (though I'm not positive since the veining looks a little less filled-in). You'll be able to tell right away with an image search since you know what the full-sized plant looks like. It's cute though.
